Evaluation
Carcassonne - Tiles & Tactics launched on November 29, 2017, and over its first few years received five paid expansions, all of which have been released: The River (launch day), Inns & Cathedrals (April 2018), Traders & Builders and Winter and Gingerbread Man (December 2018), and The Princess & the Dragon (April 2019). The developer also issued a series of patches improving stability, online features, and AI performance. The most recent developer communication was a minor bug-fix patch on July 19, 2021. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store, no announcements of upcoming content, and no developer roadmap or statement of intent to add further content. The game's 13 news posts across its full history contain no major content releases — only feature patches and bug fixes — and developer activity stopped entirely after July 2021. With all DLC shipped, no outstanding commitments, and nearly five years of silence since the last update (the final post dated July 19, 2021), the game appears to have concluded its update cycle.
Evidence
The Princess & the Dragon Expansion released, the last of five paid DLC expansions. All DLC entries on the store are now marked as released.
Minor bug-fix update addressing stats reset and meeple color saving issues. This is the last known developer communication for the game.

A TILE PLACEMENT GAME OF CREATING LANDSCAPES, CLAIMING AREAS, AND GAINING POINTS
Carcassonne is a modern classic tile-placement game based on the award wining game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, et cetera. The player can then decide to place one of his followers, so called Meeples, on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner. Each new game is a new experience thanks to the ever-changing landscape.
ENJOY FUN AND TACTICAL GAMEPLAY
During a game of Carcassonne, players are faced with decisions like: "Is it really worth putting my last meeple there?" or "Should I use this tile to expand my city, or should I place it near my opponent instead, making it harder for him to complete his goal and score points?" Since players place only one tile and have the option to place one meeple on it, turns proceed quickly even if it is a game full of options and possibilities.
FEATURES
• 5 expansions to shake up your games with new tiles, meeples and rules
• 1 Free expansion: The Abbot
• Solo mode
• Pass & Play on the same device with your friends and family
• Detection of blocked locations once the tile is placed.
• Online multiplayer mode includes:
- Public games to play with players all around the world
- Private games to invite your friends
- Ranked games and leaderboards
- Chat & Lobby
• 3D modelisation (vs 2D for the previous versions and the physical game)
• Additional strategic layers compared to the physical version:
- field view which allows you to see the field possession of each player
- remaining tile list: allows you to see the tiles which are remaining in the draw pile
Languages available: English, French, German Italian, Spanish
